Default Max G-forces so far?



I haven't been that hard on her yet since I purchased it, so that's about as far as I've pushed it. Anyone over 1.0 lateral g's yet?

Accel .75G's
Decel .91G's
Lateral accel .88G's

Don't ask how but I have gotten a .89 Accel before. I'm surprised I didn't snap my input shaft!

HMMMM. I think you're onto somethin'

Accel: .74g
Decel: 1.28g
Lateral Accel: .93

Just recently I had to make a very hard stop. With some help from my anti-lock brakes I avoided a collision . I wouldn't doubt that I was decelerating faster than 1.28 g's.

I am just glad the door was locked These seats suck something fierce I wish I had access to a Monte or even GXP seat to see what it would look like in there.

Not a whole lot really, probably just luck. I always have a tendency to get well performing vehicles. All I've changed in the week or two I've had it was tires, Magnaflow, K&N, NOS, and of course a programmer which was returned promptly... I run a speedshop so I have to be able to screw with all the other FWD guys around

if the decel went past 1.28 i would be way past it. i was doing 75 on this highway and this lady gets in the michigan turn around to go the other way on the highway and turns RIGHT, going straight across the highway.....i was a few car lengths away from her. i lock my brakes up and crank the wheel and came to a stop VERY fast. this car saved my life, if i was in my 05 dodge (which i got rid of) i would have plowed into this lady, not intentionally, and i dont think i would have walked away from that mess.
